Perhaps your new favorite bean dish:

Rinse and cull beans, do not soak. Cover with cold water and add an onion, half the garlic, the bay spice and the chilies. Bring to a boil in a covered saucepan. Simmer, adding water in case necessary. When the beans become shriveled, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or lard, then continue cooking until the beans are tender. This can take almost a whole day. When the beans are soft, season with salt to taste. Do not season with salt beforehand or they will be tough. After salting, do 1/2 hour, but do not add any more water.

Leisurely fry the second onion and the remaining garlic in the leftover lard or olive oil until golden brown, add the tomatoes and steam for a few minutes. Add some beans with a little bit of cooking liquid and stir everything together to a thick, smooth paste. You need about 3 tbsp of this quantity. Return to the saucepan with the cooked beans and thicken the beans with it.

A kelomat in which the (dry) beans are soft after about 20 min. However, you can also make the recipe with canned kidney beans.
